Colin Cutler and Hot Pepper Jam with The Rattletraps

“…a juke joint energy coursing through it and a humidity that seems to sweat out the sins and the booze that these characters are often soaked in.” ~Paste
“Wickedly funny.” ~Susquehanna Folk Music Society
“Devastating.” ~Americana Highways
“One magnificent tapestry of roots music.” ~No Depression

Colin Cutler and Hot Pepper Jam’s music stretches across the American roots music world, from acoustic oldtime and alt country to electric blues and rock’n’roll, with touches of bluegrass and jam band energy.

The last couple years have seen them playing at Merlefest, Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, the North Carolina Folk Festival, the Susquehanna Folk Festival, Antlers and Acorns Songwriters Festival, and the Carolina Bible Camp Bluegrass Festival, while selling out Greensboro’s Flat Iron and touring for shows from Georgia to Indiana’s Notre Dame University.  Tarwater, their first release as a band, reached the top 20 in both Folk and Alt Country radio charts on its release.
